Any excuse to visit San Sebastian is good. Besides the unequalled beauty of La Concha Bay, ( a shell shaped bay) which the royal family fell in love with at the start of the last century and continues to captivate anyone who comes to see it, the city is the place to come to for innovative cuisine that has made it famous across the world, a wide range of festivals that have made it a genuine cultural phenomenon and an active and healthy lifestyle that is very much in touch with the natural resources on offer. All these reasons have made it a top tourist destination over the last two centuries.

San Sebastián is divided into three main areas, each with its own personality, partly reflected in its three magnificent beaches. With the peaceful Ondarreta Beach and the Wind Comb sculpture on one side, the thundering waves of the Zurriola Beach dotted with surfers on the other, and the famous Concha Beach in the centre, each have their own spots much loved by the locals.

You should take a stroll around the Old Town, with its stone-lined streets packed with bars serving some of the best pintxos in the city and the Romantic Area, with its Belle Epoque buildings, to know the true hub of social life in San Sebastian.

To the east of the city you’ll discover Gors, a young and cosmopolitan district. The terraces and small charming shops alongside the Zurriola Beach are busy with surfers taking their boards to and from the sea. Also nearby is the district of Egia, well known for its variety of live music venues.

From la Zurriola Beach you can walk round the bay by taking the Paseo Nuevo promenade, round the bottom of Monte Urgull, until coming to the Wind Comb in a spectacular city stroll covering around 7 kilometres. Near Ondarreta beach you’ll find the Miramar Gardens with their privileged views of the Concha Bay, a stop not to be missed.

To put it in a nutshell, San Sebastian is a wonderful city to get lost in and explore...

We are waiting for you all!
